Jackie: Being from NH, I found it hysterical how you basically summed us up with the hating fake Christmas trees, and the maple candy! Did you have to dig back to your New England roots to come up with those little details? :)

Mindy: I went to college in Hanover, New Hampshire so this stuff was everywhere. It’s one of the only truly good regional candies, not like that BS saltwater taffy they try to foist on you when you’re in Cape Cod.

Maple candy is my third favorite candy, after licorice and Sour Patch Kids. Just another opportunity for me to acknowledge my favorite foods.

tanster: What’s an F Train to Brooklyn?

Mindy: I have no idea, but doesn’t it sound like an infuriating drink? I wrote the drink name but B.J. came up with “extra bitters,” which is a detail I loved.

tanster: Does that Hello Kitty laptop sleeve actually exist and where can I get one?

Mindy: Here you are, my friends. The pink one we had on the show is sold out but there are many, many more. I actually really loved these, surprise surprise.

tanster: I have heard from many fans, who have searched in vain for Pam’s reindeer sweater. Where can they buy it?

Alysia (wardrobe): As far as Pam’s sweater goes, it is a rental from Universal Costumes. I’m afraid it’s a one of a kind!

Of course she’s right Jim and Dwight aren’t friends, and i would never want them to become friends. But there has been many subtle hints of something, maybe not friendship, just a strange kind of bond that’s developed over time between them, throughout the show.
